Original thread
For those finding this piece inspiring, I would recommend "The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds" by Michael Lewis [1].
The book is about Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky and their research. In my opinion a very good combination of telling the story of the main characters and also giving interesting points from their research.

It is about the one of the greatest paternship between Nobel laureate Danny Kahneman and his colleague Amos Tversky.
Kahneman and Tversky’s extraordinary friendship incited a revolution in Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made much of Michael Lewis’s own work possible. [1]
The book is very well written and if you have read Kahneman's Thinking fast and slow, then you should also read this one.
